Well Known Voice Hearers

WELL KNOWN VOICE HEARERS is a resource by the Psychosis Research Unit team which offers personal accounts of several famous people who have had experiences of hearing voices or have chosen to speak out about their mental health difficulties.

Understanding that even public figures are perhaps going through similar experiences may help break down stigma and inspire others to speak someone at a time that is right for them.

The leaflet also highlights how common mental health problems are in society by comparing the figures to famous landmarks and places.

We promote a normalising approach to understanding psychosis. We believe experiences and beliefs commonly regarded as symptoms of psychosis are often highly understandable reactions to adverse life events. Our primary aim is to develop ways of reducing the distress of people with these experiences, as well as developing ways of restoring their autonomy and dignity.
